Czech republic and some other EU country actually have this in law. If employee with non-compete clause loses his job, employer has to pay his salary in full for duration of non compete. There are some exceptions such gross misconduct, voluntary redundancy etc..

Surprised that Eu law doesn't restrict the use of non competes - must rember to ask about that as I am due a refesher course on employment law.

Does the employer have an option to cancel the non-compete and not to pay the full salary?

I am not sure. If it is part of contract, it may require signing new contract by employee.
